본 논문에서는 뇌졸중 환자의 독립적인 재활운동이 가능할 수 있는 시스템을 제안한다. 뇌졸중은 뇌기능의 부분적 또는 전체적으로 급속히 발생한 장애가 상당 기간 이상 지속되는 상태를 의미한다. 이러한 뇌졸중은 상지 운동을 통해 대뇌 운동피질을 활성화하여 재활 할 수 있어, 의학 분야에서는 운동기구를 이용하여 뇌졸중 환자의 재활을 돕고 있다. 하지만 병원이 아닌 가정에서 운동을 하기에는 운동기구에 비용, 작업치료사의 부재와 같은 환경적인 측면으로 무리가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 가정에서 환자가 독립적인 운동을 할 수 있게 MCU와 Android Application을 이용하여 의료진이 환자의 옆에 없더라도 운동이 가능하고 가이드를 제공하는 스마트한 재활운동기기를 개발하였다. 또한 기존의 재활운동기기는 단순히 운동만 할 수 있었다면, 본 연구에서는 Android Application에서 게임을 제공함으로써 보다 즐겁게 운동이 가능하여 재활의지 증가를 기대해볼 수 있다. 뿐만 아니라 환자의 운동 데이터가 실시간으로 저장되어 병원에서 의료진이 환자의 운동 상태를 파악할 수 있도록 구성함으로 써 향후 뇌졸중 환자의 재활연구분야에 도움이 될 것이라 생각한다.

본 연구는 뇌졸중 환자와 가족 보호자를 위한 재활 교육 프로그램을 개발하여 뇌졸중 환자의 우울감, 재활동기와 기능회복, 가족 보호자의 스트레스와 돌봄능숙도에 미치는 효과와 임상적 적용에 대한 과학적 근거를 제공하는 목적으로 실시하였으며 실험전보다 실험후에서, 대조군보다 실험군에서 향상된 결과를 나타내어 재활 교육 프로그램의 적용은 보다 효율적인 재활치료에 도움을 줄 수 있는 방법이고, 뇌졸중 환자와 가족 보호자의 심리적인 측면뿐만 아니라, 뇌졸중 환자의 기능회복적인 측면까지 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

본 논문은 신경망 알고리즘을 사용하여 사람의 필기체 문자를 인식하였고, 이를 바탕으로 뇌졸중 환자의 재활치료를 돕는 시스템을 구현하였다. 뇌졸중 환자의 재활치료에서는 단기간에 환자에게 반복적인 행동 및 학습하는 것이 효율적이라고 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 뇌졸중 환자에게 문자 템플릿을 보여주었고, 환자는 문자 템플릿을 인지하고 문자 템플릿과 같은 형태의 문자를 쓰게 하는 방식을 사용하였다. 뇌졸중 환자가 쓴 필기체 문자를 신경망 알고리즘을 사용하여 인식하고, 자주 틀리는 문자에 대해 추천시스템 방식을 사용하여 틀린 문자와 모양이 비슷하거나 같은 문자를 추천해줌으로써 문자 쓰기학습의 반복을 유도하였다. 실험을 통해 제안한 시스템은 뇌졸중 환자의 인지장애와 손 기능장애에 대한 재활치료의 효과를 상승시켰다.

The purpose of this study has been done to identify the influencing factors on rehabilitation motive of stroke patients. A sample of 138 stroke patients in Long-term Care and rehabilitation hospitals completed questionnaires through face - to - face interviews. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and Stepwise multiple regression. Rehabilitation motive of stroke pacients was correlated with empowerment (r=.467, p<.001), but not with perceived stress(r=.-.186, p=.029). In a multiple regression, empowerment (${\beta}=.432$, p<.001) and primary care-giver (${\beta}=.175$, p=.023) were associated with rehabilitation motive. These factors attributed to 24% of the total variance in rehabilitation motive. Therefore, the study finding suggests that these significant factors should be considered when developing and implementing convergent care strategies for stroke patients in order to promote their rehabilitation motive.

Despite intensive therapy, a large proportion of stroke survivors are left with significant disabilities. To improve the disable condition, a major component of stroke management is aimed at facilitating functional independence and community reintegration. There are many evidences that community-based rehabilitation after stroke is most effective when provided by a well-organized multidisciplinary team. Key to the implementation of community-based rehabilitation(CBR) is that the disabled person, their family and their community decide on what the priorities of the service should be. The stroke patients in the community need a wide range of services, including the traditional rehabilitation services of physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, social workers, orthotists, nurses and so on. The purpose of this research was to investigate necessity and methods of community-based rehabilitation system in Korea.

Rehabilitation dog-walking can be used to improve physical activity and restore QOL in stroke patients. This study investigated the effect of rehabilitation dog-walking on the QOL and physical activity of stroke patients. Twenty-four stroke patients were recruited for this study. Twenty-four stroke patients were randomized 1:1 into two groups. The evaluator measured stroke specific-quality of life (SS-QOL), six minute walk test, and maximal grip strength on the affected and non-affected side. The experimental group received gait training with a rehabilitation dog for 30 minutes once a week for 8 weeks. As a result of the study, there was a significant increase in SS-QOL, six minute walk test, and maximal grip strength on the affected side in the experimental group after the intervention. In addition, the experimental group showed significant improvement in SS-QOL, six minute walk test, and maximal grip strength on the affected side than the control group. Rehabilitation dog-walking may be an intervention method that can improve QOL and physical activity after stroke.

Upper extremity dysfunction is a common consequence following stroke. Spontaneous recovery during the first six months post-stroke is rigorous and considered as a significant indicator of potential long-term progress. Various approaches have been utilized to regain functional upper limb movement necessary for independent living; however, conventional therapy approaches have failed to prove consistency, especially for subacute stroke patients. There is, thus, a need for innovative therapeutic strategies that motivate stroke survivors to facilitate neural and functional recovery during the critical window immediately following stroke. The effect of music on physical enhancement has been frequently reported in the field of medicine as well as neurorehabilitation. The efficacy of rhythm on lower extremity deficits has been well established. Yet, the rationale for using instrumental music making enhancing subacute upper extremities rehabilitation is not clearly described to date. Based on the key mechanism of music as sensori-motor movement facilitator, this paper reviews previous empirical research that utilized music-based interventions for upper extremity rehabilitation for stroke patients, either in the form of receptive or expressive activity. This paper, further, focuses on the current research trends in subacute stroke upper limb rehabilitation and provides applicable rationale of using instrumental music playing.

Exercise programs conducted for people with stroke disabilities tend to be monotonous as they are mainly focused on therapeutic effects in the form of physical therapy performed in hospitals. However, the news sports program conducted in this study is thought to deform the intensity and difficulty of exercise in consideration of the exercise ability of each subject and to participate safely and interestingly to use equipment made of special materials. The purpose of the present study was to understand new sports program participation experiences in people with stroke. The qualitative data on eleven participants' new sports program participation experiences were acquired through in-depth interviews. As a result of the study, four subcategories (expectations for the program, experience in participating in the program, and program improvement plan) and ten core concepts were derived. Based on the results of this study, the new sports program for people with stroke living in the community after discharge is expected to be the basis for the development of community-based exercise programs considering the characteristics of stroke.

In this study, we aimed to determine which medical conditions of the stroke patients admitted for rehabilitation more than four weeks after onset affect caregiver burden. Participants diagnosed with stroke and their respective primary caregivers were enrolled and assessed after an 8-week follow-up period. The areas of evaluation for stroke patients included neurologic state, cognition, performance in daily life movements, gait, and balance, and caregivers were evaluated in the area of burden. The evaluation was conducted at the start of the rehabilitation course and eight weeks later. Patient caregivers were found to be under mild to moderate burden while providing care throughout the hospitalization period. The patient's neurologic state and cognition were correlated with caregiver burden. In the all patient and the subacute stroke patient group, multiple regression analysis confirmed that the neurologic state and balance stability were factors that influenced caregiver burden. Hence, we suggest that improvement in the patient's balance stability be emphasized during the course of rehabilitation to mitigate caregiver burden.
